Explaining her choice of the haute-couture outfit, the Bodak Yellow rapper stressed that the primary aim of her eye-popping raiment was to draw attention to camp, the culture of “being yourself, being extravagant”, no matter how others judge it.

Famed hip-hop singer Cardi B has opted for a highly unusual outfit to appear on the Met Gala pink carpet in, as she wore what she referred to as “the vajayjay” – a fur-trimmed luxe gown designed by Thom Browne, inspired by “feminism” and a “woman’s body”.
